Located opposite Rome’s Colosseum, Domus Aurea is perhaps the most important monument of Ancient Rome. Yet, not many people have heard about it.ĭuring my time in Rome, I was fortunate enough to get exclusive access to the Domus Aurea for a private tour and interview with the Scientific Director of the Domus Aurea, Prof. Here are some interesting facts about the Domus Aurea which I hope will inspire you to visit it.

Want to visit Domus Aurea? Book your tour hereĭomus Aurea, from Latin meaning “Golden House”, was an opulent residence built by Emperor Nero in 64AD. It was immense, decadent, and innovative, pushing the boundaries of architecture. Then by accident, it was rediscovered during the Renaissance. What has been excavated so far sits on the Oppian Hill and is said to have been a pavilion, not a living quarters. Due to the lack of kitchens and lavatories, archaeologists suggest it was probably used as a space to talk a stroll around and appreciate the view of the valley to the south and admire the lavish interior decorations and works of art.ĭomus Aurea was the creation of an Emperor who had a deep appreciation for the arts in all its forms including music, paintings, poetry, and sculptures. On entering Domus Aurea for the first time, Roman writer Svetonio documents Nero as saying: Nero took great interest in every detail of the project, and according to Tacitus’ Annals, he oversaw the engineer-architects, Celer and Severus, who brought to life the palace of Nero’s dreams. Great! Finally, I can start to live like a human being! – Svetonio, Nerone, 31.2 What did the Domus Aurea look like?ĭomus Aurea’s extensive decorative gold leaf dazzled in the sun. Yet, that was not the only extravagant element of its decor. The walls, dressed with ornate frescoes inspired artists such as Raphael, Michelangelo, and Casanova giving birth to a new art style, Grotesque. Setting new trends during the Renaissance.īright octagonal court that rotated, opening up to the heavens via a giant oculusĭomus Aurea’s most celebrated and influential feature was the bright octagonal court that opened up to the heavens via a giant oculus in its large dome. It became the model for Rome’s magnificent Pantheon built years later and has continuously been studied and copied throughout history.
